You can also go buy an aluminum bar from anywhere, mill the ends, source the attaching hardware for about 1/3 the price, but then again you will have to have the tools/mills to do the machining required, and the time, and the skills...

Like I said, I have been doing stuff like this since I could crawl, I had a hammer in my hands at age 2 and have been turning wrenches for over 50 years now so If I am offering a product, I know it's going to be a superior product that will never fail. But if you want to build your own using parts from Rod End Supply, go ahead. But I have already sourced the items, done the homework and verified fitment.

Are the rod end threads reversed so you can adjust the length while on car by rotating the tube?

Yes. And due to a previous request I have contacted the manufacture to see if "flats" can be placed on the tube for a wrenched adjustment. But the tube rotates easily by hand with wheels off the ground.
